At the same time, the company demonstrated an early preview of its CloudBees SDM Platform along with its Product Hub and Value Stream Management modules. CloudBees also announced access to an early preview program that will enable attendees to start to adopt SDM. The CloudBees solution will uniquely integrate CloudBees' advanced DevOps capabilities with new features designed to create the industry's first end-to-end SDM system.

"As in a play, no process would be possible without actors; and the SDLC has a huge cast. To do software delivery right, the SDLC needs to involve people with diverse expertise across the company, led by a core product team." 1 The key pillars of SDM are:
